Development Pocket Ninjas was originally entitled Skate Dragons and the original screenplay was by Mark Williams. The film was made by Cine Excel Entertainment, who also made Future War. The film was intended to be a children's version of The Roller Blade Seven that would showcase Jacksons' "Roller Cam" cinematography and "Zen Film-making" style. However, Jackson was replaced when executive producer Huey felt the "Zen Film-making" style was not working. Eddy was brought in to create a wrap around for the Jackson and Huey footage.
Release history Pocket Ninjas was first released to the foreign markets in 1994. It was released on VHS in the United States in 1997 by Screen Pix Home Video. The DVD was released by Simitar Entertainment in 1999 and re-released by Universal Music and Video Distribution in 2004.
